Correspondence of the EVENING star
DOVER, DEL, Sept 90, 1S87-Generally little
Delaware has an election but once In every
two years This year, however, there Is an excep-
ton to the rule, and the people will be called upon
in November to exercise their right of franchise.
For several years there has been an effort on the
part Of few persons living In the "three counties
| on the Delaware" to have some radical changes
made In the organic law of the State. At first
these would-be reformers were alone but by per-
sistent efforts they at last succeeded In awaken
ing others the necessity OF working out the re-
forms so strongly advocated by them. Their little
force having once begun 70 increase grew rapidly,
success The last session OF the legislature passed
an act giving to the people OF the State the right to
The election to be held in November is for the Dur
pose OF getting the expression OF the people. II
they vote In the Affirmative the next general as
sembly will call convention. On the other hand,
the negative votes outnumber the Affirmative the
question Of q convention will be dropped for time
indefinite The present constitution Is DID, and its
opponents say, does not meet the require
ments Of the times. 1t was framed in 1881, and
John NJ. Clayton was the prime mover in that con-
vention. There are many reasons assigned by the
friends OF reform why Delaware should have
new constitution. The most prominent ones are:
First the judges and the county oficers should be
elective and not appointive Second, increased
representation in the general assembly for New
Castle County, and third district representation.
Reason No. has force than all the others put
together, from the fact that many believe the
governor has too much power in that direction.
With the exception Of the United States Senators,
Representative In Congress, State treasurer and
auditor, the governor appoints all the officers and
II he wishes he can override the will OF the people
and appoint whom he pleases to off1ce In urging
| reason No. 2, New Castle County stands alone.
She claims that she is entitled to increased repre-
SentatiOn because she has double the population
OF the other two counties. The counties OF Kent
and Sussex say they recognize that fact and would
like to help their sister county New Castle but
| they are not willing to increase her representa-
ton, and make her within very Few votes of
being as strong as they are in the general assem-
bly,. The two lower counties fear New Castle and
should Delaware vote to have q new constitution
do not believe New Castle will get the represen-
tatiOn she will ask for The constitutional party
is made up irrespective of other party ties udg
ing from the present outlook one would conclude
that the new party Is In fair way of carrying the
day at the polls. The light will be an interesting
one. g D. r.
